Spelltrack is a practical approach to spelling, developed to help
children who have specific difficulties with phoneme awareness,
segmenting, blending and phoneme-letter correspondences. It helps
to maintain a systematic progression through the process of
learning to read and spell. This book presents activities using
tracking techniques to help those learners who have particular
difficulty in memorizing high frequency words. By circling
(tracking) each letter in one continuous movement, at the same time
as saying the letter name, the learner is using visual and
kinesthetic senses as well as learning the phonic components of the
word. Writing out the spelling from memory, saying the letter names
or mnemonic as he or she does so, provides reinforcement of correct
letter formation and good handwriting. The workbook focuses on
helping children to learn 'tricky' words that are not phonically
regular. Words in common everyday sequences have been included too,
to give learners confidence with these words as quickly as
possible. Using Spelltrack activities can help children to scan a
line of type effectively, improving reading, letter recognition and
discrimination skills; correct problems of left-to-right
directionality, omissions and reversals; improve visual
recognition, matching and selecting; improve graphic knowledge and
phoneme/graphic correspondence; work on fine motor control;
consolidate phonic skills and early spelling strategies; and learn
proofreading skills.
